They will just switch to Axon

e2le•41m ago

Isn't it a bit disingenuous to refer to them as merely license plate readers?

lemoncookiechip•23m ago

Cop-issued spousal trackers. 50 cases and counting.

ceejayoz•12m ago

50 known cases.

lemoncookiechip•10m ago

Exactly. One cop used it to track his almost 800 times in a few months.

There are multiple cases of people being falsely imprisoned because police believed Flock over actual evidence. In each case Flock was wrong.

tptacek•6m ago

Can you cite some of them? You'd be looking for cases where it's Flock at fault, not where police simply decided to look for the wrong car (like: "any black Honda CR-V that passed this intersection at 10AM").

For the edit specifically: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/11/human-toll-alpr-errors

> Turns out that the ALPR had misread a ‘3’ as a ‘7’ on Green’s license plate. But what is even more egregious is that none of the officers bothered to double-check the ALPR tip before acting on it.
